What? to do with it - build it the best you can! How? to do it - with those SUPERIOR building skills of course! Why? to do it - for the club of course!
LOL, there. That should take care of it - now to watch the awesome build pics you post sir!!

Thank you guys really appreciate it , A guy raced on of these at a local asphalt track many years ago that's where I got the idea for this I'm not going build a replica of his as sadly I never got pics of but do remember it as a 66 Nova so here we go ! |

Update 9/12 got the hood the way I wanted it for this going to use the 69 Camaro cowl hood and graft it to the Nova hood (also have to fill in the hole some one put in it )  All the cutting and filling done now a little putty and it's almost there  Turned out pretty cool   Made little trunk hinges so trunk will open more than factory hinges would allow   That's it for now more soon...comments welcome |

Custom hood is always a great touch. I'm going to have to try that sometime.

Update 9/27 front suspension work , removed excess sheet metal from front inner fenders ( blue ones are pro street I used stock ones ) just to show what I took out   These will be reinforced with front crash bars next made front springs instead of kit ones ( the different colors are for different spring rates for left & right sides)  Tires and wheels done  First mock up shot will be more soon , comments welcome  |

NICE! They look GREAT on the tires (I've always been skeptical on using decals on the vinyl tires), but, whatever you did to get them to stick to the tires, ya done it VERY well!
